you’re good for Miami, northeastern and BU I would say (those are the only schools I have knowledge on from that list.)

3

I would say good chances at U Mass Amherst and U Conn. I think BC is a good chance too. My son was accepted to BC with a 3.7 uw and 32 ACT.

4

FYI BC advises against applying EA unless you are in the top of their applicant pool. It’s actually harder to get in EA than RD.

5

Yes EA is more competitive but they will also defer to regular decisions if they still consider you competitive. Last year of the 10,400 EA applicants they accepted roughly 30% deferred 41% and rejected 29%. With a 3.97 uw gpa and 1450 SAT I would apply EA.

Chances for Northeastern university EA class of 2023:

GPA: uw: 3.72 w:~4.2 (upward trend) (42/273 weighted class rank)
7 AP’s, (biology, English 11, English 12, physics 1, government, psychology, calculus AB), IB Physics 12 senior year , many honors classes
ACT superscore: 33 (33 e, 33 m, 33 r, 31 s)
Essays:9/10
Reccomendations:8/10
 -visited campus

EC’s: -8 varsity letters for two sports within my four years.

  • captain of both of them my senior year
    -founder of the table tennis club
  • ~350 volunteer hours
  • volunteer tennis instructor for little kids.
    -four mission trips
    -no “hooks”

My main worry is the fact that I’m not in the top ten percent of my class. What do you suppose my chances are of being accepted?
